After battling with severe morning sickness at the beginning of her third pregnancy, the Duchess of Cambridge seems to be making a full recovery as she continues with her busy schedule this week.
On Tuesday evening she attended the charitable Anna Freud National Centre gala wearing her black Diane Von Furstenberg 'Zarita' lace gown. The next day she stepped out in London for a Place2Be forum, an event which helps to tackle mental health within schools. In contrast to Tuesday night's appearance, Kate cut a more casual figure in a plum tunic dress by Goat Fashion.

MIX & MATCH OUTFIT
Forget about the little black dress, it's all about the little plum dress this season! Kate looked effortless and chic when she stepped out in the Goat 'Eloise' dress for the Place2Be forum this week. The timeless tunic dress is a versatile piece which can be styled in so many ways. It can be dressed down with comfy leggings and flats, or up with tights and boots as shown below:

For her previous pregnancies, Kate favored maternity styles from ASOS and Seraphine. Below are my picks for the Duchess from the two British retailers:
Many of Kate's Seraphine styles are still available:
